Set in 1999, in a typical suburban town, Bart Bagalzby is a high school kid who wants to be more popular. His best friends are a diverse group of not-so-cool kids and geeks. Bart is interested in Grace, one of the school's most popular girls, and he thinks if he becomes a rock star, Grace might finally notice him. While Bart is tossing out the garbage at his part-time job, a very unconventional Genie emerges from the garbage can, rewarding Bart with three wishes. But after several missteps and some failed magic, Bart's plans start losing steam. Finally, Bart finds his own inner magic, and he and his friends become an amazing rock band playing all of their own tunes.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
